”Nina, Tori! Come, come!”

Raven called out to his sisters who had been playing with each other not too far away from him. When the twins heard his voice, they burst into cute giggles and started walking towards him while on a stroller stand.

”Gii! Ray~.” The twins called out to him while giggling. Raven smiled warmly and pinched their puffy cheeks.

He then picked Nina then Tori and showered them with kisses, much to the delight of the two who started pinching his cheeks and pulling his hairs out.

Nina and Tori had both grew up. They could now call out some words and were already showing some intelligence. Their personalities are already showing up as well. Nina is the more active one and she was also the one who likes pulling his hair. She generally goes wherever she pleases and would throw a fit if she didn't get what she wanted. Even Raven has to admit that they spoiled this little princess.

As for Tori, she is the mellowed down version of Nina. Tori was the one who always pinches Raven's cheeks. Tori rarely threw a fit, she will only do so if she's extremely irritated or if she couldn't see Nina anywhere. She's also the one who could reel in Nina's mischievousness just by holding her hand. It was like they both have their own language even though they can't speak properly just yet.

The girls always comes in a pair. They're almost inseparable. If someone wanted to carry Nina, they also have to carry Tori too or else Nina would throw a fit, this goes vice versa. No one can choose one of them, it has to be both of them.

As Raven played with his sisters, Eva as well as Luis came in and smiled seeing their interaction. They just loved how Raven never compromises and will always look for a time to spend with the twins even under his busy schedule. They both laughed when Raven turned around and they saw how twins pinched his cheeks and pulled his hairs.

”Okay, okay you two. Your Big Brother had enough.” Eva said as she took both of them away from Raven's arms and placed them back on their strollers.

They saw Nina pouting while spouting some gibberish, making them laugh. She probably wanted to spend more time pulling Raven's hairs out. She only calmed down when Tori called out to her using their own language, then they started talking to each other.

”And you, isn't it your first day today? Shouldn't you be preparing for it?” Eva chided at Raven.

”I know, Mom. I just want to visit before I go.” Raven said while fixing his hair.

”Have you eaten yet?” Luis asked while taking a sip of his coffee.

”Yes, Dad.” Raven nodded, as soon as he finished tidying himself up, he then said: ”Anyways, I'm going now. You guys take care.”

His parents nodded as he waved goodbye. After exiting his Dad's office, he then called for a carriage and rode towards the Heavenly Cloud Academy.

Yes, the academy was finished. And it's opening ceremony happened last week.

To say that the event was glorious, isn't an understatement. The Academy is probably the largest infrastructure built at the Inner Court of the Kingdom. The opening ceremony was attended by the majority of the Kingdom's representatives. As the pioneer of this whole movement, Raven of course was the one who's at the seat of honor. He sat with the King and his aides, clearly signifying his status by now.

The enrollment happened shortly after that, and everyone who wanted to study was welcomed. No tuition fees are needed, all they need to bring is their personal belongings and that's it.

There are a whopping 200,000 students who enrolled, they differ in ages and cultivation realms. But since the Academy was large, they all fit in. In fact, there's even room for more.

Today is the first day of the School Year. Raven and his friends honored the promise of being Instructors of the Academy.

Raven was tasked to teach students the qualities of being a 'Leader', knowledge about the 'Unity of Body, Energy, and Spirit', as well as 'Alchemy' and 'Beastiology'. He's also tasked to give students some 'Conditioning Training'.
